that’s exactly what happened…. we used a dvx100…

so that being said, what are my options so that i don’t have a black frame around it?

i’m thinking instead of choosing ntsc 16:9, i’ll choose ntsc 4:3 and then choose 16:9 where it asks me 4:3 or 16:9. i’m trying to do that on a simple sequence, 1 minute to test it out. should that work??

but NOW it’s saying i have insufficient disk space to create temporary burning files!!! it has 30 gig free, and the sequence is only 1 minute! I closed the program, restarted, cleaned out some files didnt use to get more space, and still nothing. I had no problem yesterday burning the main entire sequence, 30 minutes, and now it wont let me test out the 1 minute one! lol…

any help would be greatly appreciated!

i was afraid of having 4:3 footage…

but when i open the clip, i see the black bars above and below the footage as if it’s in widescreen, and i remember (this was a long time ago when we filmed) that it wasn’t 4:3

and that being the case, how come in the source and output it looks fine but then it doesn’t?!

sorry for all the questions, just have to get this right, newbie here!!

i’m viewing it on widescreen… i tried it in the dvd player on the TV, on the laptop, and a different one. I keep getting this big black border around the image.

I noticed at a different forum someone had the same problem, but they told her that her source footage might not be the same as the dvd 720 x 480 i think.

i checked my source footage and it’s the same as the output, i can’t put my hand on it… happens all the time and it just looks weird watching it like that!

has anyone ever encountered anything like this before??

btw, how can i stretch the image? i need only like the right stretched a tiny bit, like 1/10th of an inch.

thanks again guys!
